do you believe in this? well, i'm not really sure whether i do believe that i inherit my mum's bad habits while she was pregnant with me or it's just a coincidence. but my mum always do say i inherit them. such as i love to smell the gas whenever we stop at the gas station. my mum said i got it from her when she had me. she'd ask my father to drive her to the gas station just to smell the gas, even in the middle of the night! my aunt has the same kind of story too. while she was pregnant with her son, she loves taking coffee. the doctor had told her that she only could drink a cup of caffeine and that's it. but she couldn't help it because she was addicted to it so she kept on drinking more than a cup a day. after giving birth, she was still addicted to coffee. for a few times my aunt found her cup of coffee was always empty and she doesn't remember drinking it all. later she found out that it was her 3 year old son who had finished it all this while. he'd sneak to drink when his mom was in the other room.

i think u do inherit some thingd some u don't, thank heavens. i see traits in my sons that i know they got from me. i don't know if it's really u inherit them or just see your parents doing things & u do the same things, it can be good or bad things.

I don't really believe that with the coffee. Not that he does, I mean I don't believe he inherited it. It's called a learned behavior. He sees his mom drinking it, so he drinks it. Kids love to copy their parents.
